Is there an alternative to the Permanent Resident Card?
No. As of December 31, 2003 all Permanent Residents returning from international travel on commercial carriers will need to show their Permanent Resident Card. In emergency situations, Permanent Residents may be issued a one-time-use travel document at a mission abroad.
Will children of Permanent Residents need the new card too?
Yes. Every Permanent Resident travelling internationally will need the new card. Children of Permanent Residents who were born in Canada are Canadian Citizens and need a Canadian passport to travel.
